A day after winning the franchise’s inaugural PWHL championship, Montréal Victoire players made their triumphant return home on Thursday.

The Victoire were greeted by roaring fans — dressed and draped in the team’s maroon and blue — outside the Verdun Auditorium.

Montreal defeated the Ottawa Charge in four games in the PWHL final, capped off by a convincing 4-0 victory in Ottawa in Game 4 Wednesday night.
